January 26: Nepal's population has reached 29.19 million (29,192,480) as per the preliminary results of the National Census 2021. A report made public by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) under the National Planning Commission on Wednesday (January 26) shows that the population is less by around 800,000 than the projected population of 30 million. The CBS informed that this data might be slightly changed in the final result.    
The population of Nepal as per the 2011 National Census was 26.94 million (26,940,504).    
As compared to the previous census, Bhaktapur has the highest population growth rate while Ramechhap district reported the most declining rate of population.    
The first phase of field work of the 2021 Census was carried out from September 15 to October 4 and the second phase of field work was done from November 11 to 17, 2021.    
Province-wise, Madhes Province has the largest population while Karnali Province has the least.    
NPC Vice Chairman Dr Bishwonath Poudel expressed his gratitude to all those involved in making the National Census 2021 successful and announced that the preliminary results of the census show that Nepal is the heartbeat of over 29.1 million people.    
CBS Director General Nebin Lal Shrestha said they conducted the population census of Lipulek, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura, the territories included in the new administrative map of Nepal, as well and were awaiting for the detailed information.    
Responding to a query from a journalist, Director General Shrestha said that discrimination between son and daughter is found to be declining and the population might not have increased as projected also because the trend of producing children in preference of son has minimized.    
This is the first population census conducted after the promulgation of the Constitution of Nepal, 2015. -- RSS
